The correct answer is

B. Frequency of infectious illnesses usually increases as children grow older.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a child is affected by infectious disease in his childhood the immune system is directly affected and the severity of the infections is proportional to the weakness of immune system. As the child grows older, the weakness of his immune system increase the frequency of the disease and the child gets use to it.
